C&O Canal, Monocacy Aqueduct, Dickerson, MD, 2023-05-26
All I can say is beautiful. The day was beautiful. The clouds were beautiful. And this aqueduct, which was a great idea for its day, was beautiful. I am not sure I can say that about the one lane bridge that we had to cross to get to the aqueduct parking.
C&O Canal, Lock 21, Swains Lock, 2023-05-26
We went back to Swains Lock specifically to visit the Dierssen Wildlife Management Area. It looked like it had the potential to have water in it and many birds. On this day, the foliage had grown up so much that you really couldn’t see through it. It also looked like there was not a lot…
Wilmer Park, Chestertown, MD, 2023-05-06
Today’s skies were so beautiful! Today’s excursion took us to Chestertown. The skies were beautiful and Wilmer Park was nice as it always is. It is a simple park with a playground, pavilion, and walkway along the water. I think I like it because the water makes it a very calm location. Pictures of our…
Patuxent Research Refuge – North Tract, Laurel, MD, 2023-03-11
On this trip to the refuge, the sky was so beautiful that I didn’t even want to convert these photos to black and white. We saw a hooded merganser. We visited the big tree and just walked to get in a couple of miles. I never tire of this location which is just down the…

Howard Community College, Columbia, MD, 2023-01-01
Howard Community College has a beautiful campus with a trail that circles two ponds, the track, a garden, and a grove of trees which includes one of my favorite trees. A building is under construction and the cement mixers were blocking my view! The tree has also had a limb break off, so I was…
Delaware Seashore State Park, Rehoboth Beach, DE, 2022-12-30
As we were headed to Rehoboth Beach yesterday and saw ALL of the traffic headed there, we saw a beach further down the road and decided to visit. We got a pleasant surprise when we arrived at the the Delaware Seashore State Park. It is at the intersection of the Indian River Bay, Rehoboth Bay,…
Patuxent Research Refuge – South Tract, Laurel, MD, 2022-12-29
We took a very short walk at the Patuxent Research Refuge – South Tract. The trails were closed for hunting. The majority of the trees were bare and perfect for photos. Lake Reddington was frozen which made a nice backdrop for the lonely limb sitting on the ice. Patuxent Research Refuge – South Tract, https://www.fws.gov/refuge/patuxent-research,…
